Seaport Lounge Crawl

It feels like ever since the snow melted we have been talking about having a "Seaport Lounge Crawl."  This was inspired by our epic fall day last year, in which we made our way around the Seaport trying new restaurants and lounges by just ordering an appetizer at each place.  This is a great way to sample several places in one night.

Last Friday, the weather was absolutely stunning and we jumped on it.  One of our good friends met us at our first stop, Lawn on D.  I've been really wanting to go here since JO went last spring, when I was stuck working on report cards and end of year assessments.  Back then, JO had asked me what the Lawn on the D was when our friends said they were going.  I knew enough to describe it as "A playground for adults" and after seeing it in person that is exactly what it is.

The lawn is a decent sized "lawn" and patio covered by an awning featuring some food options and beer and wine!  There are also big, circular swing and lawn games, although they are always being used.  You can bring a blanket and your own games.  Lots of times there is live music.  I loved this place and wish I had discovered it earlier in the summer.

After enjoying some time at the Lawn we started looking for a patio for stop number two.  I love the Seaport because if you just go one street away from Legal's and Jerry Remy's you can usually find a nice patio with plentiful seating.  We picked M.C. Spiedo at the Renaissance Hotel.  We ate here back in the spring on a spontaneous night out in the Seaport and we remembered it being pretty good.  We easily got a table on the patio, but unfortunately it was directly in front of the open doors that led into the main restaurant so we were constantly being attacked by the arctic air conditioned air streaming out of the dining room.  It was actually really cold and slightly uncomfortable.  We ordered the meat and cheese tray and a pizza.  I loved the pizza.  It wasn't anything fancy but it was yummy!  Looking inside reminded of what a great indoor lounge they have and how fun it would be on a snowy night.

Next, we headed to Tamo, our go-to patio in the Seaport.  We loved the food and the patio that features tables and couches.  We had fun talking about the fun things to look forward to over the next few months.

Our final spot was Gather, by the ICA.  Gather was definitely on my "I really want to go list" and I was so glad JO directed us over that way after Tamo.  We were able to get a seat on the patio.  I had really wanted to order the steamers because they are steamed in lots of yummy things like garlic, lemon, and Sam Adams.  I didn't end up getting hem but wish I had.  (Really, this is just a nice excuse to head back in the near future.) I got some oysters and those were pretty yummy and I enjoyed my cocktail featuring gin, lime juice, pomegranate juice, and prosecco.

It was a really awesome night, with awesome company, and really helped me get over my "August Blues."
